Verse 1:

Up all night I could not sleep,
The whiskey that I drank was cheap,
With shakin' hands I went and I lit up my last cigarette.
Well the sun came, the night had fled,
And sleepy eyed I reached my bed,
I saw you sleepy dreamin' there all covered and warm.

Chorus:

South city midnight lady,
I'm much obliged indeed,
You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need.

For all these things I do,
But the smile that I sent out returned with you.

Verse 2:
